I see we have a generous helping of k's again today.

I'm sure sprite will be delighted too.
2:54 am
Haz1558
Probably!
2:55 am

I stayed up late last night to watch a film and because it was on Ch4 and therefore lots of ad breaks it went on for 3hrs 40 mins.

Good morning, Katie.

Hi Katie
2:56 am
FMitch
Morning Katie.
2:56 am
Haz1558
I know, the ads are criminal and so loud as well.
2:56 am
FMitch
good point - why is it that the ads are louder than the progs?
2:57 am
herinfernallady
Fm I still have yet to see the end of Planet of the Apes remake due to adverts
2:57 am
Haz1558
Presumably to attract your attention but it is maddening.
2:57 am
FMitch
Do we really need to be shouted at to buy loo rolls?
2:57 am
KatieMcG
legally they are not allowed to have them louder,but they get round it by changing the balance within the sound to make it seem that they are
2:58 am
herinfernallady
Actually the adverts are not louder than the show. ''they'' claim that it is actually at a different pitch and frequency thus seeming louder
2:58 am
Haz1558
I know they claim that they're not louder, but when you're forced to turn the volume down every ad break, I know whose ears I trust.
2:58 am
KatieMcG
lol herin and I know the same useless facts :-)
2:58 am
herinfernallady
Same here.
2:59 am
herinfernallady
Hey Katie. Snap. we said the same thing
3:01 am
herinfernallady
Obviously right around the world everyone at ad breaks turns up the tv or dials up the hearing aides all at the same time
3:04 am
herinfernallady
We had an advert here for Just Right Cereal. They had a group do a survey on the first add and everyone said the same thing. Music was too annoying and the wrong pitch. They had already made the add and had to run it. The second add they made was animated pre making and they had the same music. When it went to air the music and the actual advert was different to the one the research group saw. It seemed the people had spoken. I was research monkey on both times
3:04 am
FMitch
Back shortly, need more tea.
3:06 am
KatieMcG
I won't mention "we buy any car dot com"

Dear me, the bell ringers at the church really do need to practice more.
Oh that ad drive me nuts Katie - I mute the sound every time it comes on.
3:08 am
KatieMcG
my nephew (7) runs round singing it, we had to threaten to kill him
3:08 am
herinfernallady
Let me guess one of the ringers dinged instead of donged
3:09 am
FMitch
herin, they ding and dong but all at the same time, it is rare they can get a proper peal going.
3:09 am
herinfernallady
That is sad
3:10 am
FMitch
oh they almost did it just then :)
3:10 am
KatieMcG
at my cousins wedding we had a hymn we didn't know but as it is in Scotland we thought it was just one of those things, as it went on it became clear that noone knew it which was strange as they had chosen it
3:10 am

My garden backs onto the churchyard and the lovely 15th centuary church is what I see when sitting in my office (hence the comments about the bells as I have the windows open at the mo).
3:13 am
jillibus
Thanks, all!
3:14 am
jillibus
I never hear church bells here although there are lots of churches.
3:15 am
herinfernallady
I have a test tomorrow and everything I needed was on the school hard drive yet 2 of my class mates have requested the lectures. I swear the stupid is contagious
3:15 am
FMitch
that is a shame jilli even if they are not rung properly there is still a joy to them.
3:16 am
FMitch
good luck herin and stay away from the stupids!
3:16 am
jillibus
I agree, FM -- probably not enough bell-ringers.
3:17 am
herinfernallady
I actually can't believe that everything we need is on the hard drive and they still ask
3:17 am
herinfernallady
Thanks FM
3:17 am
ursh
our local catholic church has bells which are computer controlled and ring very quietly so as not to wake local residents - such a pity
3:18 am
jillibus
Anyway, i nobody needs clues yet I'll head for bed. Gremlin posted a list in his profile if anyone needs it.
3:18 am

computer controlled bells, now I have heard it all! ... and Hi ursh.

Night jilli
3:19 am
jillibus
Oh, I think that's what big city churches and things have.
3:19 am
ursh
yup fm no need for bell ringers in this day and age
3:19 am
herinfernallady
My cousin did something similar at this church but they are the recordings of the bells. They had to do it as the bells were old and it was unsafe to ring them but too costly to replace them
3:19 am
KatieMcG
I'm off to do some work, if I do it now i don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day :-) have a good day everyone
3:19 am

just up at the moment as in too much pain so hoping to divert my attention till the meds kick in
4:00 am
Barb's Horses
Well I promise not to yell at you (((hugs)))) instead :)
4:01 am
rubyfoo
what meds are you taking? will take my mind off this place....
4:02 am
Barb's Horses
just tylenol which does nothing really for my FM...is acting up as I had spent a lovely day with my step-daughter and granddaughter yesterday. We shopped and had breakfast out and she got to ride my brown horse (hawk) and then we had a lovely BBQ with my son, husband and her husband.
4:03 am
rubyfoo
sounds like a wonderful day, barb! what is your FM?
4:04 am
Barb's Horses
they say they can give me much stronger ones but I refuse as I have to be able to function...can just sit as a vegetable in a chair or bed all day...which will happen if I take them
4:04 am

morning all
4:04 am
Barb's Horses
I have terribe Fibromyalgia...worse than my sister who has had it for 15 years...we I over do I pay with alot of pain
4:05 am
Barb's Horses
hi sprite
4:05 am
rubyfoo
I have a very bad back which is unfixable and I take the mildest codeine plus sa French equivalent of tylenol and it allows me to function normally, no sleepiness and no pain unless I overdo
4:05 am
rubyfoo
hello sprite!
4:05 am
rubyfoo
I am sorry to hear that, barb, that is evidently the worst pain you can have!
4:06 am
Barb's Horses
Unfortuately for me I have a lot of drug allergies...Codine willl close my throat
4:06 am
sprite
learning to pace yourself with due respect for your handicaps is one of the toughest lessons to learn. I know.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
sprite is very wise
4:07 am
sprite
I wish. Just a lot of experience there.
4:07 am
Barb's Horses
yes you are right sprite and being a person...or rather having been a person who as always worked very hard and looked after everyone else ....it is indeed a hard one to learn
4:09 am
Barb's Horses
at least there is a name for it and some people realize it isn't something you are making up
4:09 am
sprite
it is, Barb. It is tough to put yourself before others, and it is even tougher to learn not to be disappointed at yourself for being 'weak' or not able to get as much done as you used to. *hugs*
All I can say is: it helps to learn to take yourself really seriously, be mild and gentle with yourself and to realise that your being there and being you is much more important than any chores you can ever do.
4:10 am
rubyfoo
yes, barb, gentle hugs to you!
4:10 am
Barb's Horses
thank you sprite and ruby too...
4:11 am
FMitch
sprite - you have come on so far since I first met you.
Greetings ruby and Barb too.
4:11 am
Barb's Horses
My day usually consists of a lot of laying down and trying to rest and I didn't have any rests yesterday. We very rarely get to see them and so enjoyed the day
4:11 am
Barb's Horses
hi FM
4:11 am
FMitch
Morning ruby :)
4:12 am
sprite
lol now there is something. I often wonder, which kind of people can even just THINK that someone would willingly pretend to be in deep pain, frustrated all the time, limited in what they can do and feeling inadequate to booth? Of course it is real pain!
4:12 am
sprite
hi FM :)
I had to... and it is an uphill battle all the way, still. Thanks for saying that, it helps!
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I think there are husbands like that! I have a friend in France with barb's FM, just in her feet, and her husband doesn't believe her!
4:13 am
sprite
that is a really sad thing.
4:13 am
Barb's Horses
thanks sprite for that too...I have to say until I suffered so badly at it I never understood what my sister had to go through...and now I understand
4:14 am
Barb's Horses
I never knew it could be in your feet till I saw the specialist...was amazed that some of the pains I had over the last few years were all related and not just as I over did
4:15 am
sprite
Barb, on days like you are having now, I try to cherish the memories, and consider the pain the price I pay. I had to learn this, and also to take a couple of days after in which I take it very very slowly and make up for overdoing it.
4:15 am
Barb's Horses
I have also learned the FM can lead to MS some of the time...was surprised at that too
4:16 am
rubyfoo
oh my! I feel very sorry for you and guess I shouldn't complain about my bad-tempered husband
4:16 am
sprite
it is an ugly thing, fm. Contrary to FM, who is a beautiful person ;)

FMitch
Barb just be as well as yo ucan and don't forget to take tim eto smell the roses.
4:19 am
Barb's Horses
I feel I shouldn't even complain when there are others so much worse off with their own things than I...did that make sense?
4:19 am
FMitch
a moment of joy can keep you going for a while.
4:19 am
sprite
I know, Barb, I really do. I wish I could give you something from what I have learned, but words are only words.
The being annoyed part eats away your energy, but that can only be cured by learning to be really mild to yourself. Deep down feeling you deserve to take care of yourself now, that you are worth the rest as you were worth the pleasure of the company. It isn't easy.
4:20 am
Barb's Horses
I did take time to smell the roses today..and I am paying for it...but loved every moment just the same
4:20 am
FMitch
good girl!
4:21 am
sprite

4:21 am
sprite
on a side note: this is another K grid! *tantrum*
4:21 am

my rambling rose is about to burst forth - will take a pic when it is in full bloom.
4:21 am
Barb's Horses
I really wasn't up for the long day but didn't have the heart to cancel as my granddaughter was so looking forward to coming in ...."having a girls day and riding a horse which she has never done"
4:22 am
FMitch
lol spritey sprite - I thought of you when I openedup thie grid this morning.
4:22 am
Barb's Horses
sounds lovely FMitch
4:22 am
rubyfoo

4:22 am
sprite

4:22 am
Nancy Boy

4:23 am
FMitch
It must have at least a hundred buds on it.
4:23 am
Barb's Horses
hi Nancy...and night nancy
4:23 am
sprite

4:23 am
FMitch
Hi and bye NB

rubyfoo
hi and bye nb
4:23 am

ah that is good to know. No karoo and knait and such weirdos.
4:26 am
FMitch
lol no not today.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I have more trouble with the vowel words
4:27 am
FMitch
although there are 3 x 6 ones in there
4:27 am
sprite
I think vowel words are harder to spot for most of us. Not sure why.
4:27 am
FMitch
oh ruby - my downfall is always the o's and e's.
4:28 am
sprite
vowel words don't make me blind and stupid, like the K words do. But I have always trouble spotting them.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
what do you think, ladies, should I relent and make my nasty husband his Campari and soda?
4:29 am
FMitch
Nah - make him get it himself!
4:30 am
sprite
tell him you will make it for him if he can be nice and sweet
4:31 am
FMitch
Start training him to do his own stuff so you can come visit London or anywhere.
4:32 am
sprite
remember, rubyfoo: it takes two to tango... he cannot be as nasty if you won't let him get away with it.
4:32 am
sprite
*removes self from preaching chair now*
4:33 am
FMitch
well said sprite but hard to deal with in real life.
4:34 am

hi Haz, grin.
4:36 am
Haz1558
Hello again - back for another go at this.
4:37 am
FMitch
It is not too bad Haz.
4:37 am
FMitch
even the k's are pretty OK.
4:37 am
Haz1558
You've obviously made inroads while I was gone, FM.
4:37 am
sprite
there is no such thing
4:38 am
FMitch
I motored through and have done it.
4:38 am
sprite
Ks make me try stuff like kenevo. I mean... really!
4:38 am
Haz1558
Well, for goodness sake. We have a Scots speed merchant on our hands!
4:38 am
FMitch
but thanks to morewords for a few hints :)
4:39 am
FMitch
see Haz, you may have been doing house work but I beat babble!
4:40 am
sprite
FM, since you are done, can you please tell me: are there more than 1 K6 and are there bigger Ks?
4:41 am
Haz1558
I suppose you've conquered sucky-duck as well?
4:41 am
sprite
sucky-duck?
4:41 am
FMitch

FMitch

4:43 am
sprite
don't have it yet, gran, sorry
4:43 am
Haz1558
I do it in fits and starts but it never brings the same joy as babble. I think it's because it's numbers.
4:44 am
FMitch
I like the no chat no words as I wake up with suky duck.
4:45 am
sprite
I like sudoku, but I enjoy using pencil and paper, and I play in bed before I go to sleep.
4:46 am
sprite
2 more Ks, on of which is a 6

our guests were my ex-husbands son, partner and child, who are blood relations of my kids, but until 3 years ago, we never knew of their existence.
4:50 am
FMitch
wow soolde that must have been quite a visit!
4:50 am
sprite
oh that certainly classifies as weird! Any 'clicks' between you?
4:50 am
Soodlebum
Like I said - a bit weird!
4:52 am
Soodlebum
What was a bit freaky was that my step-son is exactly the same age as my ne're do well husband was when I met him, and the splitting image of him,
4:52 am
sprite
must have brought back some memories
4:53 am
Soodlebum
Yup! Quite upsetting, really.
4:54 am
sprite
I bet. Also many talks about your ex? Seeing how that was the first thing you all had in common?
4:55 am
Soodlebum
Michael never knew his Dad, and was desperate to see photos, hear stories etc. It was all a bit surreal.
4:55 am

sounds like you have earned yourself a couple of days you-time and relaxation!

I have not seen this worm before in a grid. The other one is a babblet, though.
5:18 am

5:19 am

MonkeyGames
Cool, thanks!
5:20 am
sprite
oh and found the real biggies! Am starting to love this grid, in spite of its K.
5:21 am
MonkeyGames
Cool! Hope I have more time for it later. Alternating between caring for man with migraine and trying to sew a pair of pants (war were declared by the sewing machine, though). Must off to the woods before the pouring soon, too.
5:21 am
sprite
enjoy the walk, then!
5:22 am

sam, points are determined by adding the letter values and then multiplying by a bonus depending on the length of the word. 5-letter words x 2, 6-letter words x 3, etc.

NonoNanette
doing ok, wading thru all the necessary paperwork
9:11 am
NonoNanette
doing things over the phone can be convienient but also can get things mixed up... for example in answer to a question the other day I replied 15. The woman said 15, one, five? and I said yes. She wrote 50 on the form. Now that has to be changed
9:12 am
Scrabbler
Oh, my, Nanette.

flappita flappita flappita

10:05 am
jmcnrick
that's my belly flapping sound
10:06 am
samnz
Yea, I thought I knew plenty of obscure words from playing frequent games of scrabble, but some of the ones that babble has been allowing are bizarre
10:06 am
jmcnrick
i think i am going to take a shower and put on clean clothes
10:06 am
SeaSpray
oh, i thought that was a booby flapping sound
10:06 am
stidgmere
ty kje, I knew it wasn't spelled correctly. Perhaps a flannel bathrobe would be better anyway for jmc.
10:06 am
jmcnrick
boobies make a smaller sound

Hi Leslie - yes at midnight a few of us were chatting and came up with a new name for me - will be changed next week
11:45 am

11:46 am

Better again today, Nancy Boy -- I cough a lot when I wake up, but it should be manageable again soon. I actually slept straight through last night (for the first time in several days)
11:47 am
Nancy Boy
Ohhh, you're changing your name, Mom? :) so am I...not on babble though, in real life
11:47 am

Are you changing your name to mine since I have adopted you
11:48 am
Nancy Boy
awww, good to hear it, Stid!
11:49 am
Nancy Boy
lol, Leslie! I'm just getting my name legally changed to Jesse. Everyone calls me that, so it makes more sense than keeping my Korean name
11:49 am
stidmama
"Nancyneedshelp" doesn't have the same ring to it...
11:49 am

11:53 am

I am going to be teaching 7th grade in the fall... no call for using straps on them.
12:01 pm

when did they stop using violence as a punishment in schools? I know it was around when my dad was at school, but Korean society can lag somewhat behind the Western..
12:01 pm

I loved teaching jr high!
12:01 pm

12:01 pm

12:02 pm
stidmama
But I don't know of anyone who has been hit by a teacher from my generation.
12:02 pm
Nancy Boy
really, Stid? I didn't know that...if you sneeze on a student here, it gets touchy. There's a big no-contact rule
12:03 pm
stidmama
yes, that's why that awful teacher who beat the student with dumbbells was such big news. That man should have been removed immediately from the school...
12:03 pm

I can't help but think that this year's French Open final must have been a bit of a disappointment -- they are showing re-runs of every Roddick-Federer match from last year, but not this year's Nadal-Soderling match! *sigh*

stidmama

Corporal punichment was illegal in, eg Iowa, in the 1930s, but still legal when my children started school (1972) in Calgary. Not used much though. The nuns I had just smacked the yardstick down on the desk in front of your fingers - excellent aim, one and all - except for a brand new teacher who slammed my elbow on the desk to stop me daydreaming, and left my arm paralyzed for a couple of hours - and a truly senile teacher in Grade 8 who actually used the yardstick on some pupils, but hit bottom when she locked a claustrophobic student in the supply closet for the afternoon.
12:06 pm

watercress, or any kind of greens for a snack in the eve, Kap. Sure, you'll have to pee around midnight, but it helps with flashes

Riverdance

3:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
don't want to go alone
3:52 pm
BabbleRabble
Quite a fun grid in an ambivalent, indecisive way.
3:52 pm
nrkii
Owl, can you latch on to a tour? I bet at last minute you could and get a great deal.
3:52 pm
nrkii
Go to Europe!
3:53 pm
Riverdance

3:53 pm
72 Temple Owl

3:53 pm
BabbleRabble
Hello, Scrabbler. Congratulations on your health regimen

Howdy, Mom
3:53 pm
Scrabbler
I am 50--time to lost wt and get in shape again!
3:53 pm
nrkii
but if I did, I think I'd opt for a tour
3:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is because you are not alone, really
3:54 pm
nrkii
I just rent a house, pack jigsaw puzzles, and go
3:54 pm
Riverdance

72 Temple Owl

3:56 pm
BabbleRabble
I could not get a date, so I settled for a fig.
3:56 pm
Riverdance
lucky you nrkii
3:57 pm
Riverdance
ha ha ha
3:57 pm

3:57 pm
nrkii
LOL babblerabble
3:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
geez you attract them!;)
3:57 pm
Riverdance
I'd gladlly give up mine - any takers???
3:57 pm
nrkii
Owl, remember the guy from New Hope I told you about, who I dated a couple of years ago? he invited me to dinner last week
3:57 pm
Scrabbler
That's what all my married friends say, mnh.
3:57 pm
nrkii
but all of it is totally platonic
3:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
that sounds like a date.
3:58 pm
Riverdance
hardly - many here have sweet things - I envy them
3:58 pm
Scrabbler
N, is your ankle/calf all better?
3:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
i have tix for dance party next friday, sorry you have a bum foot
3:58 pm
Scrabbler
No better at all?
3:59 pm
nrkii
it's some better... I was out all day yesterday, and drank beer, and between the weather, my hormonal state, and the beer, by the end of the night both my ankles were the size of tree trunks, which has never really happened to me
3:59 pm
nrkii
better when i woke up though
3:59 pm
nrkii
but I've been feeling my left leg ping a little all day
3:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
sounds dire
4:00 pm
nrkii
most of the pain is gone
4:00 pm
nrkii
and I think what is left is strange muscle stuff from having favored it for almost 2 weeks
4:01 pm
Scrabbler
Both ankles were puffy? Have you injured the other too?
4:01 pm
nrkii
no, no injury to the other
4:01 pm
nrkii
I think all the beer just went straight to my ankles
4:01 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, N, what am I going to do with you?
4:02 pm
nrkii
it was 2:30 AM when I noticed it, so I just went to bed and hoped for the best
4:02 pm
nrkii
and when I woke up, they looked fine
4:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
maybe the heat and the salt
4:02 pm
crosshair
calves swelling up like balloons is not a good thing
4:02 pm
Scrabbler
Hi again, Crossy!
4:02 pm
nrkii
very salty ribs, very hot weather, 4 guinness
4:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
it was just an awful day, i leftrice's sick from the heat
4:03 pm
nrkii
I know crossy... I'm a hypochondriac, so I don't need any encouragement to worry about it :)
4:03 pm
nrkii
I will keep an eye on it
4:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
have you heard anything about philly meetup?
4:04 pm
nrkii
by 2:45AM I was already at Congestive Heart Failure (oh my)
4:04 pm
nrkii
nope, haven't heard
4:04 pm
Scrabbler
If you are pre-you-know-what, that will cause water retention.
4:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
LOL
4:04 pm
nrkii
yes, pre-you-know-what plus heat, plus salty food plus beer
4:04 pm

hi all. would love a clue for the 10.
4:04 pm
nrkii
I figure it was most likely a bad alignment of factors
4:05 pm
Scrabbler
N, I thought of that too because I always think of the worst and hope for the best. But CHF would make you tired, SOB, maybe have a cough.
4:05 pm
nrkii
I'll wait and steal that clue when it comes
4:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok time to go to work. or at least stop outright playing
4:05 pm
nrkii
SOB? are you calling me names? ohhhhhhh short of breath... go tit
4:06 pm
Scrabbler
Bye Owl
4:06 pm
nrkii
I'm tired from lack of sleep, but not short of breath and no cough at all
4:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
i'm not going until the clue
4:06 pm
nrkii
actually feel pretty healthy overall except for stupid leg...
4:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am a master procrastinator
4:06 pm
Uneaixoise
clue for the 10?
4:06 pm
Uneaixoise
is that what you want, TO?
4:07 pm
Scrabbler
Good, N. I do hope you currently are upside down--ankles above heart.
4:07 pm
nrkii
I realized today I'm not just a hypochondriac, I'm also paranoid... something in my house was out of place this morning, and I am a creature of habit, so I had myself half convinced someone had been in my house
4:07 pm
Uneaixoise
an6, then an6 AGAIN, then past tense
4:07 pm
nrkii
no scrabs, but feet up on couch
4:07 pm

Hi Une. I think of you whenever I look at my columbines--such an interesting plant--tall stems with intricate flowers.

72 Temple Owl

4:09 pm
Scrabbler

Scrabbler
Yes, a lighter color.

4:10 pm
Uneaixoise

4:11 pm
Scrabbler

4:15 pm

an6 = an****ing of the sick; add re the front to get re8; then add PT to get re10
4:15 pm
Pinikula
hi all ... back for a few more
4:15 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Pini

4:17 pm
Scrabbler
There are 4 in a row, N. Start with di4/6 = take a di* in the lake + consonant.
4:18 pm
Scrabbler
Next = di4/6 + Cenozoic or other age = an ***
4:18 pm
Scrabbler
Getting those, N?
4:19 pm
nrkii
got one ending with "not off" too
4:19 pm
Scrabbler
Next 2 di8's that vary by last vowel only. First di8 = di7 + consonant
4:20 pm
nrkii
ooh, got it!
4:20 pm
nrkii
now only 3 D's missing... phew
4:20 pm
Scrabbler
I need 1 more 8. I bet it's another re8.
4:20 pm
Scrabbler
di4/5 x 2 after those 8s
4:21 pm
nrkii
I have 2 re8, but am also missing one 8
4:21 pm
Pinikula

4:22 pm
nrkii
ar8 pt of ar6
4:22 pm
Jayk
just jumping in here re hhydrangeas (a bit stunned from 8 hour drive back from my father's 106th birthday). Hydrangeas--especially the Anabelles--are GREAT!! Sun or shade--plus the climbing one, though slow to get started--is terrific
4:22 pm
Pinikula
ar8 = an8
4:22 pm
nrkii
similar to an8
4:22 pm
phaeton
pt the ar6...Hi Scrabb
4:22 pm

4:22 pm

4:22 pm
Jayk
Yeag--a bit amazing
4:23 pm
Scrabbler
TY, Jay! Are they de4-resistant? I don't want to set up an expensive buffet for the de4.
4:23 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, 106 is unreal.
4:24 pm
Jayk
Good part is he is totally compos mentis--firing off irate letters to BP, grocery shopping, baking bread, buying and selling gold and stocks, etc.

Scrabbler
Or Steely Dan song, "Hey Ni8"
4:26 pm
Jayk
He DOES have heart failure, so I'm thinking this is the last birthday--but then, I've been saying that for 15 years. Funny part is he was born with a heart prob, and docs told his mother she shouldn't expect him to live past 5
4:26 pm
bichon
we just had our thunderstorms. What a difference. Actual cool, dry air
4:27 pm
nrkii
they missed us bichon! I'm jealous
4:27 pm
Nancy Boy
I think here in England, we always forget it can be cold and rainy in the USA ;)
4:27 pm
Scrabbler
You got it, Jay!
4:27 pm
Jayk
Damnit! Sorry
4:27 pm
bichon
We didn't get much, but enough to cool it down
4:27 pm
Scrabbler
We had thunderstorms last week.
4:28 pm
Scrabbler
It's ok, Jay. WE already had it.
4:29 pm
Pinikula
gotta go...ciao for now ;)
4:29 pm
Jayk
this is a very iritating grid!
4:29 pm
Nancy Boy
see you, Pini :) take care!
4:29 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, my. I am looking out at my birdfeeders. One has at least 7 goldfinches on it--so cute.
4:29 pm

4:29 pm
Scrabbler
Bye Pini. Yes, I agree, Jay.
4:30 pm
nrkii
I have 8 AN words... any more than that?
4:30 pm
Jayk
in fact, the last several have been irritating.
4:30 pm
Scrabbler
That is one more than what I have.
4:31 pm
nrkii

4:32 pm
Jayk

4:32 pm

4:32 pm

Well, Bunny Miss Bea just emerged from under the couch and she ran to the edge of the kitchen where she is awaiting her evening salad plate. BBS--must make salads for the bunnies.
4:34 pm
Nancy Boy
that's so adorable, Scrabbs!
4:34 pm
nrkii

nm, thanx anyway
4:39 pm
nrkii
I'm trying to decide how bad I want to be with dinner tonight
4:39 pm
nrkii
I'm thinking kobe burger and sweet potato fries
4:39 pm
nrkii
I've eaten my way through the past two days already
4:40 pm
nrkii
so I should eat something healthy
4:40 pm
Merk
That can't be all that bad. I've decided on stir fry
4:40 pm
nrkii
but I am craving grease
4:40 pm
Merk
Can we rationalize here ... sweet potatoes are better for you than white potatoes, i.e. french fries
4:41 pm
nrkii
yes, yes, go on
4:41 pm
Merk
You know, I can't say grease is a usual craving of mine. Ice cream yes, grease, no
4:41 pm
nrkii
kobe beef much better than regular beef, right?
4:41 pm
nrkii
usually for me it's chocolate
4:41 pm
nrkii
but once in a while, i just want a burger more than anything
4:42 pm
Nancy Boy
bleurgh. salad!
4:42 pm
nrkii
you know, if you throw a broken up bacon cheeseburger on top of a salad, with a lot of russian dressing, it's really quite good
4:42 pm
Nancy Boy
can't tempt you? ;)
4:42 pm
PAV3
hi all...NB how's england these days?
4:43 pm
Nancy Boy
hi, Pav! It's none too shabby thanks - for once - lots of pasty English people walking around all sunburnt recently ;)
4:44 pm
Nancy Boy
how's the situation where you are - any better than last time we spoke?
4:44 pm
PAV3
and here we are trying to stay indoors...s/b > 110 this week
4:45 pm
PAV3
how does one go about asking for a raise...when one knows it really shouldn't be happening...
4:45 pm
Nancy Boy
hmm...blackmail?
4:46 pm
nrkii
should not be happening... why?
4:46 pm
PAV3
budget cuts...hiring freeze...s/b saving money
4:46 pm
nrkii
if it's company is on hard times, don't ask...
4:47 pm
PAV3
I work for the state of AZ...if we're not in hard times, I don't know when we will be...
4:47 pm
nrkii
yeah, only case I'd ask for a raise would be if the company were doing well and I was outperforming... both would have to be true
4:48 pm
LeslieAnn
good point pav, public sector is different
4:48 pm
PAV3
I've been outperforming and I get the expectation of continuing to do so....
4:48 pm
nrkii
yeah, gov't job might be exception
4:49 pm
nrkii
in that case, i would disregard the "shouldn't be happening part" and just ask
4:49 pm
nrkii
but be prepared to lay out the case, with details, of how you are outperforming
4:49 pm
Nancy Boy
hmmm...I wouldn't know about that. If I want more money from my job I just flirt my way into getting bigger tips ;)
4:49 pm
LeslieAnn
especially if you can tie it to cost savings. e.g. it would take 2 people to do your job otherwise
4:49 pm
PAV3
how does one sound "not greedy" and not as "needy" without whining? I've never asked for a raise, they just happen
4:50 pm
Nancy Boy
ohh, Leslie makes a good point..
4:51 pm
nrkii
the other option is to say you are actually performing at a level higher, and are eager to take on that type of work more in the future, and want to be promoted (so it's not about the money, even though the money will follow)
4:51 pm
PAV3
yes, I should and can do that...the prob is that as the finance mgr, it's been my job/duty to find cost savings...
4:52 pm
nrkii
15 to go here. . . hit the wall, I fear
4:52 pm
PAV3
my biggest issue has been that, since I'm sitting in meetings with the division directors and assistant directors, and PIO and lobbyist, I'm the lowest paid person...
4:56 pm
LeslieAnn
you should be paid comparable to people who have the same level of responsibility
4:58 pm
PAV3
and my altruistic side says working for the "people" I should expect lower wages than private sector...
5:00 pm
LeslieAnn
they should still be comparable to others in the public sector
5:00 pm
PAV3
60 left here

Once I was asked to sit in on a meeting with my then boss and my replacement to discuss her salary package. She was offered 25% more than I was on. When I asked him afterwards why he didn't pay me the same, he said "you didn't ask". 30 years later - I have never forgotten that. Ask Pav.
5:03 pm

Morning all
5:04 pm

that's a painful lesson, lynxxx
5:04 pm

I agree with that... it's terrible but true, that if you don't ask, you are really likely to be overlooked
5:04 pm

and wjen I was hired, my then-boss told me he couldn't pay as much as my predecessor because she had her CPA and I only have my MBA...and later he said I only need an MBA, and wouldn't pay for me to obtain other certifications...He also has his MBA and never once considered increasing pay even when he could have, although he was willing to accept any increases he received...

qualifications, shzmalifications - you are doing the job. Find out from a placement agency what salary you would get in the commercial world. Sit down with your boss and say that you are planning a change in your personal finances/situation and you need to know when you will be getting your next increase...and make it known that this $ is what someone like you would earn on the outside and that this level of $ is what should be considered - even if not immediately
5:15 pm
PAV3
yes, ma'am!..I've been drafting my memo all weekend...
5:15 pm

although my goal was to search the payroll records for other comparable agency CFO's
5:17 pm

I'm missing the 7
